Oak Cliff Blog

Speaking of the proposed South Dallas freeway redo discussed last night, Tom Benning has this report.

And as for Bike Friendly Oak Cliff’s annual Tweed Ride, it has been postponed until November. That’s the word right here.

But very much not postponed, delayed or reined in are the fifth-annual Oak Cliff Mardi Gras paradeSunday, Feb. 10. Ditto the fourth-annual Dash for the Beads run, walk, party and all on Saturday, the 9th.After all, those traditions might be getting too big to fail.

A fund-raiser for FIDO Oak Cliff, the Dash has 1,400 entries so far, so we hear.

The parade, getting wilder every year, is capped at 60 entries. It runs from 4 to 6 p.m. with a crayfish boil, beer garden and live music starting the festivities at 1 p.m.

Go Oak Cliff reports the parade route — down Davis from Nova to Bishop Arts — will be fenced this year so grab a spot early if that fits your mood.

And word is restaurants along the way will host watch parties.

My how times have changed.
